The armys leader was the twenty-four-year-old Ottoman sultan Mehmed II, "the Conqueror," who sought to take one of the most strategically important fortifications in southeastern Europe.

An accessible introduction, timelines and maps help to illuminate this fascinating yet previously neglected story.
